VIDEO MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE / Viewing, recording and event management VIDEO MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE Remote viewing, recording and event management Axis provides video management software that complements the company‘s network cameras and video encoders. Axis Application Development Partners (ADP) offer an additional wide range of complete video solutions.
Viewing, recording and event management / VIDEO MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE 25 1 AXIS Camera Station User interface AXIS Camera Station runs as a Windows service on a dedicated PC. Viewing and control are possible using the AXIS Camera Station’s Windows client running on the local computer or connect from anywhere on the Internet or corporate network.
VIDEO MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE / Viewing, recording and event management Scenario 1: Basic installation with remote access on the local network AXIS Camera Station and Axis network cameras are located on the same local network. Viewing, playback and administration are done directly in AXIS Camera Station. Existing analog cameras connected to an Axis video encoder achieve the same functionality. Typical environments for this type of installation are small offices or retail shops.
Installation and management tools / VIDEO MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE 27 INSTALLATION AND MANAGEMENT TOOLS AXIS Installation Monitor Easy adjustment of focus, viewing angle and direction. AXIS Installation Monitor software simplifies the physical installation and service of Axis network cameras mounted on walls, ceilings, poles, etc. Basic camera properties can be monitored by using a handheld Pocket PC, and without having to rely on a laptop or contact with a colleague at a remote computer.

TECHNICAL CORNER / Axis superior image quality TECHNICAL CORNER AXIS SUPERIOR IMAGE QUALITY Image quality is one of the most important features of any camera, if not the most important. This is particularly so in surveillance and monitoring applications, where lives and property may be at stake.
Axis’ Motion JPEG, MPEG-4 and H.264 support / IPv6 and QoS / TECHNICAL CORNER 33 AXIS’ MOTION JPEG, MPEG-4 AND H.264 SUPPORT Many Axis video products feature advanced real-time video encoding that can deliver Motion JPEG, MPEG-4 as well as H.264 video streams. This gives users the flexibility to maximize image quality for recording and reduce bandwidth needs for live viewing. Axis’ MPEG-4 (MPEG-4 Part 2) follows the ISO/IEC 14496-2 standard and provides Advanced Simple Profile (ASP) at level 5.
TECHNICAL CORNER / Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Megapixel POWER OVER ETHERNET (PoE) One cable for transmitting video, audio* and power. With a network video solution, you have the option of using the same Ethernet cable both for data communications and power. This feature makes it easier to install products since an electrician is not required and the network video product is able to operate even when there is a power failure if the PoE source is connected to a UPS.
Preparing your network video project / TECHNICAL CORNER 35 PREPARING YOUR NETWORK VIDEO PROJECT Main considerations 1. Define the scene and type of network video products required > Scene: What kind of scene do you want to monitor? How important is it? This will help you determine the features you would like to have in a network camera, such as video quality, light sensitivity and type of lens. > Lighting conditions: level of indoor and/or outdoor light sensitivity required.
TECHNICAL CORNER / Free project design tools FREE PROJECT DESIGN TOOLS A variety of tools that will help you design your network video project Technical guide to network video Before setting up your own network video system, you need to consider what features the system can provide. It is equally important to consider factors such as performance, interoperability, scalability, flexibility and future-proof functionality.
